Last night, Sailing team Barba Roja 73052 got together on the water and on land to celebrate the life of a crew member. Bryan was a great chef, crew member, and friend, and we will always remember him. Bryan, may the wind always be at your back!

#29 A much easier paddle tonight compared to last night. I paddled north to the dead-tree zone. Nice, easy run. No wild life spotted with the except of the Osprey sitting on the nest.

#28 No sooner did I launch the kayak than the wind and chop piped up out of the SE. I took it as a challenge and paddled into the weather, paddling south the 1st dock that juts out into the Bay, just south of the Breezy Point property line. It was a good, tough workout of the upper shoulders and arms!

All the crew had something else to do. I single-handed to SMSA V, left 77 to port, sailed to 76, gybed and came back across the Bay. 18 miles, top speed 6.8 knots. This was GREAT sailing!

#26 - If you were going across the bridge in Solomons today and saw a sailboat, there is a good chance that it was us. It felt more like early November than late April, but the sun was out, the wind was favorable and Paula and I had a great afternoon on the Patuxent! Even with the water tanks filled for cruising, our 40-year old Cape Dory hit a top speed of 6.9 knots with just the main and the yankee up. It was great sailing indeed!

We took advantage of the weather and our scheduled time on the boat to take a shake-down cruise. On Tuesday, we hit 7 knots under just the jib! We sailed up the river, before tacking once more and headed into one of our favorite anchorages... Folks Cove 2. On Thursday morning we took it easy while on the hook to do some maintenance. After lunch, we pulled the hook and sailed out of Mill Creek under main only, hitting 5+ knots. We popped the yankee, and tacked multiple times before running out of wind just off St. Leonard Creek. Pulled in to the slip at 4:00.

Helped Captain Dave Ohler deliver a Beneteau from Jabin's to Chesapeake Harbor. It was a tight spot but Dave did a great job of backing her into her slip!

Wednesday night racing. The RC had a good chance to shorten the course but didn't do it, and instead we sailed into the dark, in calm breezes, before the wind came back up and we sailed home under spinnaker.
